Is it possible to have a black MC in this day and age without everyone going apeshit?
>inb4 current year
>inb4 SJW agenda
>inb4 WE
>everyone
/pol/ is hardly everyone.
>black character
>"shadow man"

this
and please put them in the right context
I never saw anyone complain about Barret
>>338149752
That game was really good.
Scales really well to modern hardware too.
Pretty atmospheric, but the SS2-tier polycount might put some off.
Someone make a good black panther movie tie in
what am I saying, it's going to be a fucking move tie in.

As long as it makes sense and the character fits in the setting sure.
Pic related is one of my favorite games.

Sleeping Dogs
I think is a vocal minority thing. It seems worse than it is, especially as some nigger spouting fuck on an anonymous board can post loads and make it look worse than it is
>>338150047
>make a white male MC
>feminists go apeshit
>make a black dude or a girl MC
>/v/ goes apeshit
you can never win
>>338150091
But a Chinese guy isn't a minority in Hong Kong. And whitey was that bad guy.
>>338149752
If you just want your character to be black and aren't doing it because you want diversity points, sure.
>>338149752
As long as his character doesn't revolve around him being black, it's fine. James Heller is a perfect example of how not do it.
>>338149752
>top 50
>all steriotypes (gangstas, criminals, pimps, military thugs, ect)
>>338150319
HOW THE FUCK DO I USE DEEZ COMPYUTAZ?
>>338150319
And then fuck it up by making him talk like a generic hood monkey with muh revenge muh daughter as his entire character?
>>338149752
>Going Apeshit
>>338150319
Does it have comedic value?
>>338149752
/pol/ is just a minority of vocal donkeys, but they don't represent the traditional posture of the original 4chan.
/pol/ is as easily triggered as the tumblrlards they h8.
>>338150319
Ruined that game.
>>338149827
>implying /pol/ isn't one of the most visited board on 4chinz
>>338150319
Sure, lets make a generic black in da hoodz char the lead. And while we're at it, lets shit on all he development that happened in the previous game as well. Guaranteed sales.
>>338150543
>implying most of the video game community is a /pol/tard
>>338150436
He curses a couple of times if you count that as comedy.
>>338150509
it's actually /int/ that tends to shitpost races
IT'S
>>338150543
That's immaterial you doof; 4chan isn't every video game consumer.

COME ON
DUDE WEED LMAO

>black character
>shadow man
>who is a criminal
>and messes with voodoo
Game is pretty dope anyway. Didn't this get a release on steam recently?
>>338149752
Was Torque from The Suffering black or not really black?
Fucking sequel was disappointing.
>>338150238
But that has nothing to do with the question.
>>338150898
He was mexican
>>338150854
GOG's got it I think. Doesn't need too much of an update, game's technically solid.
The racism on this board has to fucking stop.
>>338150673
THE
>>338150974
Really? Shit. His wife and kids were black though.
>WE
The problem is they never just make a black character. It's always a Token MUH oppression or MUH race type character instead of them having a real personality.
>>338149752
The last thing I'd want to play as is a nigger.

>we will never go back to late '90s levels of race relations
>>338149752
Yeah. It is. Don't give this sheltered suburban white liberal kid any more attention, guys.
my favorite black mc
Literally every post
>KEK pol is so stupid they will cry about this
>only pol because they're basement boys xD
>do you think pol is stupid I do
I haven't seen a single /pol/ yet
>>338151546
I fucking miss the 90' and the first 00'.
It was like pure magic. All the people enjoying their lifes, just a few wars (aside tha apeshit it allways was Africa) and the vibe of dispair comming from the idea that the world was going to end in the 2000.
Then like a revive in the first year, but NOPE, it's all fears and war all'over again, sayd someone during 9/11.
From 2005 was all shit.
>>338150854
yeah, it's on steam.
>>338149827
there's a little /pol/ in everyone whether you like to admit it or not
>>338151809
Social Marxsism went into full swing around that time.
They've been going at this since the 60s and they degeneracy pot is finally boiling over.
Day of the rope soon my friends.

Computers are tools da white devil use to keep da real people down
>>338150042
>black panther
This.
T'Challa isn't any of the standard stereotype, and frankly a fucking awesome character in general.
Only if they can make a decent movie tie-in game.
Battlefield Vietnam had a black person on the cover and nobody cared because it actually fits.

>>338151546
>we will never go back to late '90s levels of race relations
What, even worse than it is now? The only reason your sheltered suburban ass think it's worse is because you're forced to acknowledge it. Race relations, ESPECIALLY in the US, were always fucking horrendous, I guess the LA riots popped out of nowhere right?
You dumb basement dwellers.
>>338149752
As long as they aren't fucking shit.
Look at Prototype 2.
Black protag.
Instead of the melacholic/determined mercer, we got roid-rage retard who just screams fuck you and literally has a cutscene where he screams at a computer because he can't hit log on.
Then deflect criticism with; ITS CUZ HE BLACK INNIT.
TL;DR BLACK MC CAN BE GOOD IF NOT DONE SHIT.
LIKE MOST MC'S.
>>338149752
Yes, if the game is good. The first season of The Walking Dead by Telltale had a black main character and it wasn't half bad.
>>338149752
I don't really care about the race of a character tbqh.
>>338150228
Simple.
Mexican MC.
Tumblrettes can't complain for fear of being racist.
/v/ can go full arriba arriba to their heart's content.
Mexicans don't give a shit. They're happy to have a game.
>>338152413
> Implying it matters if I don't see it
If they hate america so much they should go back to africa
>>338152546
;-;too soon
>>338150509
>original 4chan
>implying that matters when people who posted in 2003 have moved on
>>338152546
Lee was good. He was just a normal history teacher who made a bad desision in a moment of rage, and ended up on prison for it. Then the Romero apocalype happen.
It doesnt matter the gender or the race in a story as long is a good one and it fits the story, dont force agendas on people throats and make this characters walking posters of your ideas

What's the point of making a black MC if he's not some sort of stereotype?
There's a reason why white MCs are always uninteresting shallow blank slates.

Big L, rest in peace

>What's the point of making a black MC if he's not some sort of stereotype?
For variety. You don't need to push a set of features to their limit to show something interesting. Stereotypes are by definition hyperboles.
>>338153225
It's a lose-lose situation when making minority MCs.
Make a stereotypical black person, and people will complain that he's a stereotype.
Make a non-stereotypical black person, and they'll just say it's a white guy in a black person's skin.
At least the hoodrat WE WUZ KINGZ shit is entertaining.
I feel like the only time i've seen a non-stereotypical without giving him the personality of a white man is in Shadowman, i can't for the life of me recall any other black MC that did the same. He is a criminal and all that but his personality doesn't reflect that
>>338151063
>wides sons
>>338154461
How about Garcian Smith from Killer 7?
>>338153342
>Make a non-stereotypical black person, and they'll just say it's a white guy in a black person's skin.
this. it is also unnatural too.
better the nigger behave like a nigger
Any games with Indian MCs?

They would have if Lincoln wasn't assassinated
>>338155421
Yeah, Garcian's awesome, I love Killer7.
